Following on from my post: Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2 updates to Report Writer Functions , I have to admit that I made a mistake.
The Problem
The update to the RW_CoAddrIDInfo() report writer function has broken the code. It works when no Address ID is supplied to return the information from...

You might remember the story about how I created a suite of Report Writer functions and got them added to the version 7.0 Dynamics.dic core dictionary. The aim for these functions was to make it easier for partner consultants and customers to modify the reports without needing custom scripting in Visual...

One thing we've noticed recently is an uptick of cases involving Visual Studio Tools assemblies causing Dynamics GP to crash after being installed.
While I don't think this has anything to do with GP 2013, it does seem to happen on that version. Perhaps everyone is just going to the new version and...

Last month, we released Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 Service Pack 5 . Since then many other components of the Microsoft Dynamics GP suite have had Service Pack 5 releases. This includes the Dexterity Development Environment build 10.00.0331.

By using triggers before and/or after...

You have probably noticed the padlock icon next to many of the links on this blog. This icon signifies links which require access to PartnerSource or CustomerSource .
You will find that many Knowledge Base articles, Tools, Software Development Kits (SDK), Product Releases and Service Packs are all...

This is an updated version of an article I wrote a while back for the Microsoft Dynamics GP community website. The links to the original article, as well as the associated Knowledge Base (KB) article are provided at the bottom of this post.
The idea was to provide as many tools and techniques as possible...

During my time in the partner channel, I worked with a number of consultants who had a number of problems customising reports with Report Writer.
One of the problems was an inability to access desired data because a valid table relationship could not be established. This could be due to the source...
